I now have to take a photo in my favourite cafe in Sydney - Corellis(named afte Archangelo Corelli - an awesome composer whose mosaic'd portrait ogles you from the wall while you drink)...just because.
anyway, I rather like this picture - the yellowish tones create a warm, familiar atmosphere.

yes.
Corelli's 'studies for the violin' have been used to torture violin students for centuries ..
although my favourite cafe is in France, the Cafe Lorrain, in a town called Figeac, so excuse me one moment while my mind drifts back to those long blacks, the surly staff, the decades of accumulated grunge that seethed stories of knife-fights long gone .. le sigh ..

that's odd, a friend of mine's just come back from a three month stint working at a uni in france, and says if anything he's missed the australian coffee - the french just don't make it all that well.
although i imagine the atmosphere would make up for it..*envy at your well-travelled...ness..*

he's right. even parisien coffee can be pretty dire.
and if you're interested, drastically edited versions of my travelling diaries are online at:

and the cafe lorrain, in all it's grungy glory, stars on the entry on the 12 (or 13th) of july in the Pilgrimage dairies.
i'm having a long black, and it's my shout, so you're having a ???

double-shot moccha if i may - i'm a hopeless sweet-toother, it'll be the end of me. But thank you kindly *smiles*
I'll certainly give your travelling diaries a look - the same friend who regaled me with tales of bad french coffee is also well travelled, and i have a nice collection of drastically self-censored group emails from his years abroad.

As I find that I like about so many of your photos, the angle and the tones really makes this shot.

I like the tones of this picture, they're cool.
Also the disembodied head just keeps attracting my gaze, there's something about the angle and lighting that draws your eye to her.
